Learn on site. Everything starts there. What are the problems? What do we need to solve them? In order for us to solve problems, we need “knowledge” and “tools.” We also need to enthusiastically observe and dedicate ourselves to solving problems scientifically. Many of the problems we face do not have ready-made answers. This graduate course aims to establish a mechanism in which knowledge and tools from the “site” are applied to the “academic sphere,” and vice versa. Together, we learn, practice, develop research, and return to practice. Let us embark on our quest for the unknown world!
